•
Store food in small packages (ideally less than 2.5kg). This reduces the
freezing time and improves the quality of the food after thawing.
•
Wrap food before putting into the freezer. To stop the wrapping sticking
together, ensure it is dry.
•
Label the food before freezing with information including type of food
and dates of storage and expiry.
•
Once food is thawed, it must not be refrozen unless it has been
completely cooked. Only defrost as much food as is required to prevent
wastage.
•
Bottled or canned drinks should not be stored in the freezer
compartments as they could explode.
•
Check the rating plate to confirm the maximum amount of fresh food
that can be frozen within a 24 hour period.
•
Do not attempt to freeze more than the maximum amount.
•
To freeze fresh food more quickly, switch on the super frost function a
few hours prior to placing the food in the freezer.
•
Do not use the super frost function for more than 24 hours. Use over
the recommended time will place unnecessary strain on the refrigeration
system.
